Why do projects fail?

Research studies have identified poor requirements management processes (or lack thereof) as a leading cause of project failure. Effective (structured) requirements management processes address many project development/management issues.

In both traditional or agile project development, requirements are important considerations in the project life cycle. Successful projects are highly dependent on well-defined and well-understood requirements.

Implementing requirements management processes, in collaboration with stakeholders, can greatly improve project success rates, leading to consistent delivery of successful projects and improved organizational performance.

This webinar focuses on utilizing requirements management effectively in improving organizational project success rates.

It covers effective implementation of requirements management processes in any industry, in the government or the private sector, including the requirements processes discussed in the featured article: “Setting the Course: Requirements Analysis Guides Project Success” shown on the front cover of the October 2013 issue of PM Network.

Note: You do have to be a PMI® member to register for this opportunity.
